My sign-in code didn't arrive

  1. Wait a minute or two. Codes come by email.
  2. Check your spam, junk and promotions folders.
  3. Check that your email address is spelled right, then ask for a new code.
  4. If you asked for more than one code, use the newest one.
  5. Too many tries from one network in 10 minutes pauses sign-in there. Wait a few minutes, then try again.

Why can't I start another session?

  1. Read the message on screen. It says which limit you hit.
  2. After a session ends, the next one opens 48 hours later. Your Tayo shows the day and time.
  3. Each person can start 2 sessions and use 90 coaching minutes in any 24 hours. Try again later today or tomorrow.
  4. Close to 90 minutes? Pick a shorter session: 15, 30 or 45 minutes.
  5. Deleting a session doesn't give it back for that day.

My recap isn't ready

  1. Wait 10 to 30 seconds after you tap End. The page refreshes on its own.
  2. Still not there? Open Home. Tayo tries again in the background. Give it a few minutes.
  3. Your dashboards (Where you've been, Where you are now, Where to next) can take a minute or two longer than the recap.
  4. If you didn't say anything in the session, there's no recap to make.

Reminder emails

  1. After your first session, Tayo sends a short reminder if it's been a week or more since your last session.
  2. To stop them, click Unsubscribe at the bottom of any reminder email.

Voice and Listen

  1. Tap the lamp once, then just talk. Pause for a few seconds and your turn sends. Tap Pause hands-free to stop listening. Each recording can be up to 2 minutes.
  2. Can't hear your coach? Turn the volume up. On iPhone, the sound comes from the speaker.
  3. On iPhone, voice needs iOS 17 or newer. Update iOS, or type instead.

Adding context (files and notes)

  1. Use a PDF, Word or text file, or a photo of a page (JPG, PNG or iPhone photos), up to 10 MB. Or paste the text.
  2. On a phone, Upload lets you take a photo or choose one from your library. After a photo, Tayo shows the text it read; delete it there if it's wrong.
  3. If a file won't upload, try a smaller one, or paste the text instead.
  4. You can add about 5 a day. If you hit the limit, try again tomorrow.
  5. To see, edit or delete what you shared, open Home, then What you've shared.

Deleting a session or my account

  1. One session: open it from Your sessions on Your Tayo, then tap Delete at the bottom.
  2. Everything: tap Your Tayo at the top right (your initial on a phone), then Delete account. Type delete, and confirm.
  3. It's gone from Tayo right away, and from our backups within 7 days. You don't need to ask us.
